    The ball finds Salesi Rayasi and he races in. That was coming.

    Shocking attempt at the extras from Martin Page-Relo.

    He is short. Bordeaux will have a scrum from five metres out. I'd expect a try here.

    Harlequins wing Cadan Murley to Premier Sports: "It has been a tough Christmas period and we just stripped it back and concentrated on doing our jobs. How many times did Marcus Smith have the ball in space? That's what we want to do.

    "South Africans are always physical but that's the best performance from our forwards in a long time. We did the basics to our best ability and we had complete clarity."
